Car Hire Santorini Airport

Santorini National Airport is a relatively small airport located in Greece. The exact location is on Thira Island, in southern region of the country. The airport has only one runway, almost 7000 feet long. Because it’s so small, the airport can only handle 6 civil planes at the same time, and during the summer the small terminal can get pretty crowded. But the staff at Santorini airport always manages to deal with these kind of situations, so you don’t need to worry. The construction of the airport finished in the 70’s, and soon after this it was ready to operate at normal parameters.

A small downside is that you cannot park for long time somewhere inside the Santorini Airport, but you can wait or park for a few minutes in front of the terminal. In terms of taxis, you will not find it hard to get one, because they can be found around terminal 1. If you want to car hire, you can do it from one of the three companies which provide this kind of service. In a few minutes you will get your own car. Simple and easy. If you are waiting for your next flight, your time will pass quickly because there are a few shops and markets where you can buy whatever you like. You can also find coffee shops and bars if you want to get something to drink.

There are also a couple of travelling agencies, so you can book tickets for any period you want, and you can also withdraw money from the local ATM located in terminal 1. Another minor disadvantage is that you don’t have the chance to exchange currency inside the airport, so if you don’t have Euro (€), you might be needed to find another way to pay. The airport can help you reserve a hotel room if you want. There are three luxury hotels in Fira Town, located at about 3 km from the Santorini Airport. You can order for a personal taxi or a limousine, but these services will leave a mark in your bank account.
